here is another beautiful masterpiece for you all, courtesy of sir reginald dwight.

STUDIO:

CONCERT:

i remember seeing this live on the yellow brick road tour when i was about 12 or 13 years old. it blew me away. it was the first BIG concert i ever went to. i was hooked. i decided to become a professional musician right then and there, but it took many years to reach that goal.

decades later, i had the honour of working as stagehand on 3 elton john shows, but i never really liked any of his songs after bernie taupin left.

well here i am - back again for some inspiration. really need it this time.

thank you everyone for all these wonderful feel good songs.

here is my latest contribution.

this song always lifts me up, when i feel down.

haunting melody... soaring chorus... beautiful voice... pure genius

thank you so much to the person who started this topic. for helping me rediscover my deep love of music. i had somehow forgotten what got me into the music business in the first place. i started as a listener. i became a composer and performer, then a producer, and finally nothing but a mercenary technician. i lost the listener somewhere along the way.

i hope nobody is upset that i am posting so many songs. but i really want to share another meaningful melody with you.

this is a tear jerker for me, it makes me cry every time but i keep coming back for more. i even learned the guitar part. i use music like a key to unlock emotions.

one of the proudest moments in my career was working with joan baez. i could not believe she was still touring, and i pulled every string i had to get on this show. it was an outdoor concert, in a lovely park, on a beautiful evening. everything was perfect. i broke all the rules to get close enough to her in the wings to actually have a conversation with her. i even confessed that she was one of my idols. this is very unprofessional but it was one of those now-or-never, once-in-a-lifetime opportunities i could not pass up. she was very gracious and down to earth. one of those golden moments.
